3 1 PURPOSE The purpose of this contract is for the Consultant to provide the District 5 TSM&O office with a concept study for developing an ITS Decision Support System & ATMS Software Development, determine future needs and formulate an implementation strategy for the future development and maintenance. The Decision Support System is the heart and soul of Integrated Corridor Management (ICM). It is the rule set by which the data from local agencies, DOT, SunRail, and CFX are converted in to actions. The system would push out recommended plans to react to existing/project conditions. The Concept of Operations would include the ATMS software development and coordination. ATMS Software, local agency traffic signal system, is a system that would sit on top of the local agencies various ATMS software creating a unified interface to collect information and provide it to the Decision Support System. Additionally the software could allow for centralized control of the traffic signal systems. The consultant will provide a final comprehensive report that will contain all essential technology information and final recommendations with a system-wide implementation methodology. The plan will be in sufficient detail to format a sound basis for design. The report shall contain all necessary background research, technical analysis and coordination with local and regional agencies. 2 STUDY OBJECTIVE The CONSULTANT is to study the: The feasibility of developing a Decision Support System and an Advance Traffic Management Software that is able to communicate with the various agencies ATMS software.

7 6 CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS The Consultant will provide a Concept of Operations that defines the roles and responsibilities for development and implementation of the ITS Decision Support System & ATMS Software Development and also includes the level of information sharing, status and control between agencies. The Concept of Operations (CONOPS) provides an overview of the project/system to be deployed; specific details as to the current system; the transportation situation being addressed; identification of any desired changes, assumptions and constraints or operational issues; specifics on using/operating the project/system; methods to train and involve stakeholders; and requirements for project/system support and maintenance. In order for the CONOPS to be most effective, the document will be updated as elements change or are added/deleted. Stakeholders, or parties who will have an interest in or participate in the project or system, will be consulted to determine their needs and preferences. The CONOPS will summarize the needs and preferences of each stakeholder and how they will interact and utilize the project/system. In some instances where conflicts between the needs and preferences of various stakeholders arises, the CONOPS document will address these conflicts and document the resultant outcome of which items will be implemented by the project or system and which items have been considered but will not be included. Ultimately, the CONOPS will serve as a record of the project/system needs, requirements, interactions, agreements and constraints in regard to all parties involved from the conception through maintenance of the desired product. The Consultant will meet with each of the stakeholders upon project award to discuss their project roles and needs to determine if the existing CONOPS accurately reflects the current state of the anticipated development and implementation. The document will also be reviewed by the Consultant to determine if any suggestions can be made regarding possible changes to technologies or operational concepts described throughout the CONOPS, which could provide equal or better results with less initial and future maintenance costs. Suggestions will be forwarded to the Project Manager for consideration and any approved changes would be added to the CONOPS via a document revision. 7 ESTIMATES The CONSULTANT will generate a cost estimate as described within the table below. The study should evaluate the cost vs. value. The CONSULTANT shall develop construction cost estimates and updates for design alternatives. The cost estimates are to be developed using the Department s long range estimating (LRE) program, Description Years Construction 3 Operation 10 Maintenance 5 7 P age
